Stills from Argento’s Giallo
Master of gore and horror Dario Argento is at it again. This time he’s decided on a pallet of yellow, black and red and though it doesn’t look like the film is quite as stylized as Suspiria, I really dig the poster for Argento’s upcoming film Giallo.
The film stars Adrien Brody as an Italian detective who teams up with a stewardess to find her sister who has been abducted by a maniacal serial killer known only as “Yellow”. I don’t think things can really get any worse than Argento’s last debacle Mother of Tears (our review), so I’m hopeful that this will actually be a step forward in the right direction.
/Film has tracked down the first few photos from the production and though I’m not holding my breath, they certainly look promising. I just hope it’s not an entire year before we actually get to see the film.
I’ve posted a few photos under the seat and a few more can be found at the official website.
It’s a little too late for Argento to have any major steps forward in his career. You basically know the kind of range your going to get with his films. I love Argento, but he has had as many misses as hits for me. I was really looking forward to seeing Mother of Tears, but it looks like its just a waste of time.
These stills, however, remind me of Tenebre. That is definitely a good thing.
